The CAMEO 5 Alpha PLUS combines high cutting accuracy with impressive speeds of up to 400 mm/s. Whether paper, vinyl, textiles, cardboard, or specialty craft materials, every project can be executed perfectly thanks to a wide range of compatible tools. The scope of delivery already includes an AutoBlade and a pen holder. Additional tools such as heat transfer, embossing, or fabric blades are available optionally and further expand creative possibilities.
Optimized Technology for More Efficient Workflows
The latest generation of Silhouette cutters features significantly improved workflows. In addition to increased cutting performance, drawing speed has been enhanced and the Print & Cut function refined for even greater accuracy. Pre-printed designs can now be cut out with exceptional precision. Intelligent Path Technology (IPT) automatically plans the optimal cutting sequence, reduces unnecessary movements, and saves valuable time. Completed jobs can be restarted easily at the touch of a button.
Gentle Fixation with an Electrostatic Bed
An optional electrostatic bed is available for particularly delicate materials. Thin media up to 0.5 mm in thickness are securely held in place without the use of adhesive. The result is smooth surfaces without tearing, warping, or curling—ideal for sensitive paper projects and intricate designs.
